Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for the collecting and storing of environmental data, and generating a user report of the environmental data, the user report providing document compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirements. The collected and stored environmental data includes a wide variety of manufacturing facility parameter data, including but is not limited to, the presence of viable microbiological organisms, the presence of particulates and other environmental conditions within the facility, such as humidity, pressure, temperature, water quality (e.g., pH, conductivity, total organic content (TOC), endotoxin, coliform, and metals), and the respective amounts of different materials involved in the manufacture of the end product(s).

Abstract: A method of reducing the number of operative cylinders in an internal combustion engine, and an engine produced according to the method. The cylinder head is removed. A hole is formed in at least one initially operative piston associated with at least one cylinder. The head is replaced. The intake manifold is removed. The valve push rods and valve lifters associated with the cylinder are removed. The exit ports of oil opening into the bores for the valve lifters associated with the cylinder are sealed. The intake manifold is replaced.
